On August 25, 2008, there was a disturbance in Modules
3100 and 3300 of the Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail,
two high-security units in which prisoners were housed in
single-person cells. Prisoners in the units lit fires, flooded
toilets, shattered sinks, and threw shards of porcelain.
Appellees described the disturbance as a “protest,” organized
in response to repeated uses of excessive force by jail
officials. Appellants described it as a “riot.” The district
court instructed the parties to use the term “incident” in front
of the jury.
